The State of 12th is a colossal, pleasant nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-working population of 8.368 billion 12thians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Douglas Heights. The average income tax rate is 12.8%.

The 12thian economy, worth 382 trillion betales a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 45,686 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes and 12th has designated Douglas Heights as its capital city. Crime is moderate. 12th's national animal is the deer.

12th is ranked 227,946^th in the world and 5^th in Western Africa for Lowest Crime Rates, with 56.25 law-abiding acts per hour.
